Title: Annual car mat de-oiling
Post by: Tony on September 11, 2012, 08:59:05 PM
20l non-demethed Glyc in a 60l drum with 40l of water, mats submerged for three days, job should be a good one just like last year and the year before, even the well gunked ones :)

I think I need to use that trick with my whole truck , you would think with all the Glyc I have everything would be spotless

 The Audi's back bumper could be doing with that, a 400 mile trip with a leaking return pipe mean's its covered in veg.

 On a brighter note, engine bay to bumper should be undersealed great.

I think Isopropyl Alcohol is your best bet for cleaning oil off paintwork - it's quite a gentle solvent compared to petrol or white spirits and good at dissolving veg.

I've put a glyc/water mix in the pressure washer soap dispenser before, and cleaned the car with it... the paint still sees to be attached so who knows?  Do remember the odd oily looking streak appear though, but it washed off just as easily.
